That's because the command you're trying to use does not exist in Vista:
1) Open an elevated Command Prompt window – click the Vista Orb (Start
button), type command prompt, *right* click the Command Prompt shortcut
in the Program list and select 'Run As Administrator.
Follow the prompts to allow it to run Elevated.
2) To display the current proxy setting of Windows Update, type the
below in and press Enter
netsh winhttp show proxy
3) If a proxy server is shown in the “show proxy” result
Current WinHTTP proxy settings:
<name of proxy>
then type in this command to disable the Windows Update proxy setting
and then press Enter:
netsh winhttp reset proxy
IF this is what's showing when you ran netsh winhttp show proxy
Current WinHTTP proxy settings:
Direct access <no proxy server>
then the communication issue with the update servers is NOT proxy
related. In either case, close the Command Prompt window by typing
exit
And then press Enter.
